Lifetime 1221 Pro-Court Review

Who is this Product for?

This basketball system is suitable for people of all ages. This means that young and old alike can enjoy the game of basketball. This portable system is suitable for family members who want to have fun during get togethers or in family friendly competitions. Note that this is entry-level basketball equipment for individuals who want to start out and build their basketball skills. The bottom line is that Lifetime 1221 Pro-Court can be used just anywhere where basketball fanatics can't wait to enjoy this interesting game.

Basketball Backboard

Basketball players shouldn't worry about the durability of the 44-inch backboard because it is made of weather resistant high density polyethylene material. This tough material is not only UV protected, but its toughness prevents the backboard from chipping thus maintaining its beauty and usefulness. The 44 inch backboard is also strong enough to resist the impact of wind.

Pole and Lift System

Well, this portable basketball system features a black and powder coated pole with three distinct sections. Lifetime figured that younger players wouldn't fare well when using a 10-foot hoop and that is why they included the pole height-adjustment mechanism to help such players enjoy their game, their height notwithstanding.

Amazingly, young and old players alike can enjoy using the system in spite of their skills and performance level. Lifetime 1221 Pro also has a telescoping mechanism which can be adjusted from 7.5-10 feet with 6-inch increments. You don't need any tools when making the height adjustments.

Rim

Well, this model features a black 18-inch solid steel rim construction which is not a breakaway. This may not hold out more if you have aggressive players in a typical game. Anyway, the rim is highly stable featuring Half inch steel braces, steel hooks, and a 50 gram net. This completes the goal system and you should really enjoy the shots at whatever angle you like.

Installation

Assembly is not complicated, but quite lengthy and it will take about 2-3 hours to set it up the system together. Well, the instructions aren't great but quite helpful for first time users. No additional tools are required for set up. Nevertheless, you will probably need a helping hand to get the system up and ready for use. The base of the Lifetime 1221 Pro-Court is strong and this is a plus if you want a more stable base unit for a great game of basketball.

Why should you invest in it?

The advantage of this portable basketball system over the in-ground built ones is that it can be rolled easily on wheels.

For your convenience, you can also position the hoop in any place you like really quickly.

If you take IT with you, then you will be glad to know that you'll only need to fill the base gallon with either water or stand to get it ready for the game.

The materials are high quality, no doubt about that and the stability makes it safe equipment for the young and old.

Summary

The bottom line is that Lifetime 1221 portable basketball hoop system is the ideal equipment for basketball players. Surely, there is no better way of enjoying basketball than having the convenience of playing at your favourite spot-park, back patio, or your desired location.Going by the fact that you can easily adjust the pole height, you should have no reason to stay out of the game because of your height.
